The snatch is the diva of athletic performance - and for good reason. It is scary to hurl yourself underneath a weighted barbell and it takes mad skills to execute the snatch. These fine fluxers are working on their fast twitch muscles, which are necessary to drive yourself under the bar. The snatch, along with the clean and jerk, have been described by Mark Rippetoe as gymnastics with a barbell. Tremendous flexibility and spatial awareness is necessary with these movements as well as coordination, speed and strength.
